Leibniz-Institut für Molekulare Pharmakologie

The Leibniz Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP) is a member of the Leibniz Association and is legallyrepresented by the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V.

The Leibniz Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP) is devoted to research in molecular pharmacology,ranging from the development and application of small molecules and their interactions with their cellulartargets, to the effects of manipulating protein interactions or protein function in cells and entire organisms.

The Cluster of Excellence “NeuroCure” is an interdisciplinary consortium of internationally recognized principalinvestigators covering a large range of research topics from basic molecular and cellular to clinical neuro-science with a strong emphasis on translational research.

To complement its research activities the FMP together with NeuroCure invites applications for a

Junior Group Leader positionin Optogenetics or Chemical Biology of Optical Probes

The successful candidate will build up an independent research group centered around the developmentor application of optical approaches to manipulate protein or cellular function. These could either be thedevelopment or synthesis of novel optical probes, photoswitchable dyes, �uorescent biomolecules or theapplication of genetically encoded probes to dissect, manipulate or visualize biological processes at themolecular, cellular, or organ level. Applying such technology to the study of brain function is of particularinterest but not a prerequisite.

Successful candidates are expected to have completed the equivalent of a Ph.D. in a relevant �eld aswell as postdoctoral experience in Chemical Biology and/or Optogenetics. The ability and willingness tocommunicate and collaborate effectively in an interdisciplinary environment are essential.

From Molecules to Medicine55th Annual Conference on Chemical Research

Speakers, Discussion Leaders & Awardee

October 24 - 25, 2011, Houston Hilton North

For a complete program or to register go to: www.welch1.org/ChemicalConference/

Questions should be sent to: conference@welch1.org

Peter G. Schultz, Program Chairman

Advances in genomics, proteomics, and

cellular and chemical biology are allowing us to

unravel many of the complex processes involved

in human disease at the molecular level. At

the same time chemists are becoming increas-

ingly sophisticated in their ability to synthesize

both small molecules and macromolecules that

selectively modulate cellular processes. Taken

together these advances make possible a more

rationale approach toward the development

of new therapeutics to meet major unmet

medical needs.

This symposium aims to illustrate the

impact of modern molecular approaches on

understanding and affecting disease processes.

Sessions I and II will illustrate the dissection

of physiological and disease processes at the

molecular level, while Sessions III and IV will

illustrate molecular approaches toward modulat-

ing complex biomolecules and cellular processes.

It is the hope that this conference will

foster an exchange of ideas between biologists

and chemists, and stimulate young scientists

to engage in interdisciplinary approaches

toward problems related to the improvement

of human health.
